Mesugaki Tank Enters The Academy-Chapter 701: Summary (1)

Another sun rose in the sky, scattering its light across the world.

"Stop them!"

"Hold on!"

"We need more weapons!"

"Casualty! Escort to the rear!"

"Fight with the resolve to die! Move forward!"

The commander of one of the armies, shouting like a madman at the front lines, bit his lip as he watched the soldiers being pushed back.

This was something that had been predicted the moment the dungeon went into rampage. Not everyone could transcend human limits like heroes.

The soldiers had already given more than they were capable of. Expecting anything beyond this was madness.

The front lines had to be pulled back. Sacrifices would come, but the choice had to be made. If not, everyone would die.

Wiping the blood from his face, the commander saw a vision of a girl in the center of the front lines.

The hero who had returned after dealing with the disaster in front of his territory just hours ago.

The hero still facing the evil god in the heart of the disaster.

The apostle of the god of the earth, the one with the smallest yet greatest back.

"Commander!"

The commander, who had come to his senses after hearing the shout of a soldier who had crushed the head of a spider-like monster, smiled and steeled himself.

His body had already reached its limit.

Right now, what moved his body was nothing more than the fervor of his will. It wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed at any moment.

But strangely enough, his mind was clearer than ever before.

Even though he had used up all the energy left in his body, it kept coming back. The source of this power was undoubtedly life.

I am burning my life to move right now.

And once this battle is over, I will turn to ash, scattered in the wind.

If I am to become ash, I will become the kind of ash that carries a grand story.

I will be the ash that saved others by cutting away at myself.

"Send a messenger to the supreme commander! Prepare for retreat immediately!"

The commander shouted at the soldier, but the soldier’s gaze was not on him.

In such an urgent moment, he was losing focus!

"Hey!"

"Commander."

"Why aren’t you responding to my orders?"

"Look up."

"What’s the use of looking at a sky without light?"

"The sun has risen."

Only then did the commander feel the warmth shining down on him from above.

Until just a moment ago, the sky had been full of darkness, but now light was streaming down.

It was so warm that it made him forget the pain in his body and the imminent danger. Mesmerized by the warmth raining down from the sky, the commander looked up in a daze before quickly regaining his senses and scanning his surroundings.

The battle was not over yet. If he relaxed like this, the monsters would rush in!

"...Ha."

What entered the commander’s eyes was the sight of monsters melting away like ice on a midsummer day.

There was no distinction between small or large, strong or weak. All the monsters that had appeared on the ground were withering away under the sunlight.

"Is this a miracle?"

With a bitter laugh, the commander threw down his weapon and removed his blood-soaked helmet, looking around.

The one who had lost his legs now stepped forward on his own.

The one who had fallen asleep from blood loss suddenly woke up and quickly scanned the area.

The one who had been limping from wounds on the front lines now forgot the pain in his legs.

Miracles were happening one after another on the land that had been filled with despair.

"Great god of the earth."

The commander closed his eyes and muttered a short prayer before forcing himself to move, standing in the middle of the battlefield.

"Everyone, listen!!!"

The soldiers, who had been looking up at the sky, slowly turned their heads toward the commander's shout.

"Great god of the earth has granted us a miracle! Evil has faded! Good now stands on the land!"

The commander, who had gathered the attention of everyone on the battlefield, smiled as he raised his arm.

"We have saved this country!"

"We have saved this continent!"

"We have saved this world!"

"So be proud! Your story will forever be passed down in this land, just like the heroes of the past!"

"Waahhhhh!!!"

As the cheers of the soldiers shook the land, the commander staggered back and leaned on the shoulder of a soldier.

A short moment of chaos passed, and once again, peace returned to the world.

In the forest, after the battle, the Fairy Queen congratulated the fairies who had worked hard and then looked around, using their gazes to observe the world.

The continent was peaceful. There was no group attempting to attack foreign lands in the confusion, no one stabbing their own in the back for power, no one struggling with the fact that their faith had gone astray, no one trying to take over the shadows in the absence of the evil gods' seat.

The church of the god of the earth had shouted that it was their fault and poured its wealth into stabilizing the continent.

Other religions that had been growing independently joined forces with the church of the god of the earth to save those affected by the calamity.

The countries of the continent did not obstruct but instead joined hands and worked for the people.

And all this good was supported by the gods, who could temporarily remain on the earth.

In an era where human time and the mythical age had mixed, it was an exceptional occurrence.

Anyone who didn’t know the circumstances might think it was the result of coincidence, but those who had worked alongside the apostle of the god of the earth knew that this was no accident.

After all, one of the conditions Lucy Allen had set from the beginning was the coming of the gods.

"So this is peace... I was worried for nothing."

Erginus, who had asked for confirmation from the Fairy Queen, looked up at the sky with a mix of relief and bitterness and let out a hollow laugh.

"You must have heard. Hero. It seems there’s no need for you to act now."

"That’s good. It seems the current hero is much more capable than us."

At the end of the mythical age, things had been different.

After the war of the gods ended, the war of humans began, and by the time that war ended, the continent was full of distrust.

Those who lived through those times said that it was something only time could resolve, something impossible for one person to solve. But look, a single human has saved the continent.

"Thanks to that, I can leave without regret."

As the contract with the god of the earth ended, the hero’s physical form began to fade.

"It will be quite hard in the afterlife."

"It’s better than waiting for centuries in the darkness."

The hero, smiling lightly, lowered his head after imprinting the faces of his comrades one last time.

"Thank you for everything. I’ll go first..."

"Why are you saying goodbye like you’re relieved?"

Suddenly, Lucy appeared between them, chasing off the noisy fairies around her and standing before the hero.

"You smelly old junk. You haven’t done a single thing right."

"...I truly apologize for that. However, this is the natural course. The clock that was off must be set right."

"That’s just your idiot thinking."

The hero, flustered by Lucy’s harsh tone, was shocked to see his body regaining its color once more.

"Apostle of the earth! This is a promise made between me and the god of the earth! So..."

"That’s been canceled."

"...You’ve acted on your own! Wait, what?"

"It’s canceled. Don’t you understand? It’s a relic from hundreds of years ago, can’t you even speak the language? Should I teach you the words?"

"Lucy. It seems that after the curse disappeared, your words have gotten much harsher."

Seeing Lucy smile mischievously, Ruel intervened, and Lucy took a step back.

"Grandfather, how can you say that so openly? I had just set the mood."

"Even a fool like him is my friend. Maybe not in the past, but now, I’d like at least a little respect."

"Yes, yes."

After answering casually, Lucy turned her head and bowed deeply, as if everything from earlier had been an act.

"I’m sorry, hero. It seems it’s hard for you to understand, so I acted with a strong attitude. Whatever my intentions, it was rude. I sincerely apologize for hurting your feelings."

"Uh... uh... it’s okay, don’t worry about it."

"Thank you for accepting my apology. Now, is that enough?"

Seeing Lucy change her expression in an instant, Ruel was about to say something but sighed instead, not bothering to scold her.

"...Ha. Fine. Now explain in detail what you just said."

"Because of our idiot mama, the hero had a lot of trouble, right? And after that, there was no proper compensation. So I scolded him."

"You scolded... your mother?"

"The foolish god of the earth. He’s got so many flaws, making others suffer, and he’s a pervert who wants to dress his own daughter in a bunny outfit."

Everyone was at a loss for how to react to Lucy’s words when, from behind her, a tearful voice could be heard.

"Ugh... I’m really sorry, everyone..."

The eyes of the great god of the earth were swollen, as if he had just finished crying.
